Rahway Library launches Optimal Resume web-based program

RAHWAY — The Rahway Public Library has launched Optimal Resume, a web-based program that allows job seekers to create high-impact resumes and cover letters and share them online. Assess your career skills and participate in practice video interviews or create online portfolios. Create and save multiple resumes and cover letters for different employment opportunities.

Unlike creating a resume in a word processing program, Optimal Resume offers preformatted templates and easy formatting, along with industry-specific samples and instructions. All a user has to do is enter relevant information in the relevant categories (such as work history, educational background, and professional certifications) and Optimal Resume will generate a resume that can be downloaded to your computer, printed off, or published online.

Users can turn their resumes into professional websites with the option to include links to their accounts on sites like Facebook and Twitter.

This service is offered completely free-of-charge. Because the service is web-based, our patrons can access it from any computer by visiting the Rahway Public Library website and using their library card number to create or access their account.
